Records also show that Balfour missed a meeting with his parole
agent on Friday, the day Hudson's mother and brother were murdered and
her 7-year-old nephew went missing. Reached by phone that afternoon, he
told the agent he was "baby-sitting on the West Side of Chicago,"
according to the documents, obtained by The Associated Press.

The agent said he thought he heard a child in the background during the call.

The Associated Press reports authorities declined to prosecute Balfour on drug charges last summer. If they had pressed charges, he would have been behind bars and the family of the Oscar-winning actress would probably be alive today.

The Cook County Medical Examiner has determined 7-year-old Julian King died of "multiple gunshot wounds to the head."
